Gynecomastia Surgery in Bangkok

Gynecomastia surgery, also known as male breast reduction, removes excess gland and fat to create a flatter, more defined chest.

It’s a precise procedure designed for men who experience chest fullness or puffiness around the nipples that can’t be reduced through diet or exercise.

At KKC Clinic in Bangkok, our surgeons perform gynecomastia surgery with meticulous attention to contour and proportion, restoring a masculine, natural-looking shape.

What Is Gynecomastia?

Gynecomastia is the enlargement of male breast tissue caused by an increase in glandular tissue, fat, or both. It can affect one or both sides of the chest and often appears as puffy or tender areas beneath the nipples.

While sometimes mistaken for fat from weight gain, true gynecomastia involves firm glandular tissue that does not disappear with diet or exercise.

Common causes include hormonal shifts (during puberty or aging), certain medications or steroids, alcohol and drug use, and endocrine or metabolic disorders.

While the condition is harmless, it can significantly affect self-image and confidence.

When Gynecomastia Requires Surgery

In some men, particularly adolescents, gynecomastia related to hormonal changes may resolve naturally. However, when it persists into adulthood or remains firm despite weight loss or medication adjustments, surgery is often the only effective solution.

You may be a good candidate for gynecomastia surgery if:

• You are in good overall health and at a stable weight.
• You have fully developed breast tissue and stable hormone levels.
• You are a non-smoker (or willing to stop before and after surgery).
• You maintain realistic expectations and are committed to aftercare.

To find out whether gynecomastia surgery is suitable for you, schedule a consultation with one of our surgeons.

Gynecomastia Surgery Options in Bangkok

Gynecomastia surgery is tailored to your anatomy and goals. Our surgeons combine surgical precision with advanced body-contouring techniques for natural, well-defined results.

Liposuction

Ideal for soft, fatty chests with minimal gland tissue. Using technologies like VASER liposuction, fat is precisely removed through small, hidden incisions.

Gland Excision

Recommended for firm glandular tissue that cannot be treated with liposuction alone. The gland is removed through a discreet incision along the areola’s edge.

Combination Technique

The most common approach, combining liposuction and gland excision to achieve a balanced, sculpted chest.

Skin Tightening

For patients with mild skin laxity, J-Plasma may be added to tighten and firm the skin after fat or gland removal. This technology contracts tissue beneath the surface, enhancing chest definition and contour.

How the Procedure Is Performed

Gynecomastia surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing you to return home the same day.

Anesthesia

The procedure is done under general anesthesia or IV sedation with local anesthesia to ensure maximum comfort.

Incisions

Small, strategically placed incisions along the areola or natural chest creases allow access for liposuction or gland removal while minimizing visible scarring.

Technique

Fat is removed via precision liposuction, followed by direct excision of glandular tissue. Hemostasis is performed to reduce bleeding, and small drains may be placed temporarily.

Duration

The operation usually takes one to two hours, depending on the level of correction. After a short recovery period, patients can return home the same day with clear aftercare instructions.

Consultation and Preparation

Your consultation is an essential first step toward achieving your desired results. Your surgeon will:

• Review your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle factors.
• Conduct a physical examination and take standardized photographs.
• Recommend tests such as bloodwork (to assess hormone, liver, or thyroid levels) or imaging (ultrasound or mammogram) if needed.

From there, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan detailing your surgical approach, expected results, recovery timeline, and cost.

Preparing for Surgery

• Stop smoking and avoid all nicotine products for at least 2–4 weeks.
• Limit alcohol and maintain a stable, healthy weight.
• Avoid blood-thinning supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, fish oil) as advised.
• Arrange transport home and a companion for your first night after surgery.
• On the day of surgery: follow fasting instructions, shower as directed, wear a clean front-opening shirt, and bring your compression garment.

Recovery and Aftercare

At KKC Clinic, every patient benefits from attentive follow-up care and detailed guidance throughout recovery.

Early Recovery (Days 0–3)

• Rest and manage mild discomfort with prescribed medication.
• Take short walks to improve circulation and keep dressings clean and dry.

Week 1

• Most patients return to desk work.
• Any drains (if placed) are removed during the first follow-up visit.

Weeks 2–3

• Resume light cardio but avoid lifting or upper-body strain.

Weeks 4–6

• Gradually return to full workouts once cleared by your surgeon.

A compression garment is worn for 4–6 weeks to minimize swelling and help the skin conform smoothly to the new chest contour. Visible improvements are usually seen within weeks, with full definition achieved over 3–6 months.

Scar Care and Maintenance

• Begin silicone gel or taping once incisions have healed.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for 6–12 months to prevent darkening.
• Gentle massage or lymphatic therapy can soften firmness and enhance smoothness.

Most scars fade significantly within several months and are barely noticeable over time.

Results and Longevity

You’ll notice a flatter chest almost immediately after surgery, though initial swelling is normal. Over the next several months, the chest refines into its final contour—firmer, smoother, and more proportionate.

Results are long-lasting when weight and hormone levels remain stable. Recurrence is rare but can occur with significant weight gain, steroid use, or untreated hormonal issues. Once fully healed, you can safely resume chest training to further define muscle shape without affecting your results.
